  2. 673: Body-Mind Trauma with Dr. Aoife O'Donovan

    Is it the chicken or the egg? Did your chemical imbalance lead to weight gain, or did weight changes trigger a hormonal shift? Did depression cause neurotransmitter imbalances, or did the imbalance spark depression—or both? This week, we speak with a psychiatrist who specializes in the...

  3. 672: How to Personalize Your Healthspan Journey with Rachele Pojednic

    When you search online for ways to live a healthy life, you're bombarded by charismatic speakers, some with medical degrees or PhDs, promising miracle cures. From cancer treatments to fat-burning morning rituals and an endless array of supplements claiming to unlock the fountain of youth, the…

  4. 671: How to Love Someone with Mental Illness with Dr. Michelle D. Sherman

    Have you ever struggled to support a close friend or family member dealing with a mental health condition? How do you know when you're truly helping rather than enabling? When should you push, simply show up, or even step away? If these questions resonate with you, you're not alone—at least 20%…

  5. 670: Managing Chronic Pain with Dr. Mel Pohl

    Chronic pain affects as many as 1 in 5 people worldwide and can lead to a huge reduction in quality of life, drug addiction, and very desperate outcomes. Today's guest helps people use tools like mindfulness and therapy - among others - to manage and even reverse pain naturally. Listen and Learn:...

  6. 669: Constipation Nation with Dr. Carmen Fong

    On any given day, up to one in three people experience GI tract troubles—whether it's gas, bloating, indigestion, or constipation. These issues are not only common but complex to understand. This week, we sit down with a colorectal surgeon to unravel the mysteries of bowel health and provide...

  7. 668: Endurance Lessons from an Anthropologist with Dr. Michael Crawley

    In endurance sports, certain countries consistently dominate the podium. While many theories attempt to explain this, the most overlooked—and perhaps the most relevant—is culture. The influence of your social group and peers plays a huge role in shaping your choices and potential, yet we often...

  8. 667: Longevity & Your Face with Dr. Cory S. Goldberg

    Aging is deeply personal—there's no right or wrong way to do it. Some people embrace every new anti-aging intervention, while others prefer to let nature take its course. But what does science say about aging well? In this episode, we explore the choices people make, the science behind longevity,...

  9. 666: The Future of Medicine with Dr. Abraham M. Nussbaum

    We're navigating a paradox in health and wellness. Developed nations are sicker than ever, yet healthcare systems have reached remarkable levels of advancement. At the same time, access to care, health insurance, and patient agency seem to be at an all-time low. How can we take control of our...

  10. 665: Strong Joints After 50 with Will Harlow

    By middle age, most people have at least one joint that causes them problems—maybe a knee, hip, their lower back, or shoulder. How should you handle it? Painkillers? Physical therapy? Surgery? These are tough decisions, especially to face alone. This week on Age Less, Live More, you'll meet a...

  11. 664: Your Healthiest Brain with Dr. Sui H. Wong

    When we think about improving our health, our brain is often overlooked, but it shouldn't be. Neurodegenerative illnesses are among the leading causes of death globally. Even more pressing, a sick, inflamed, or imbalanced brain can immediately diminish your quality of life. This week, we're…

  12. 663: Introduction to Metabolomics with Oliver Fiehn

    When you hear the word "metabolism," you might think of calories or basal metabolic rate—the energy your body needs to survive. But metabolism is much more than that. It's a complex network of processes influenced by your diet, lifestyle, sleep, exercise, and stress, impacting nearly every part…

  13. 662: Good Ideas for Bad Knees with Daniel White

    Bad knees can feel like a roadblock to living your best life, but modern treatments and techniques can offer real solutions. Whether you're exploring the cutting-edge possibilities of PRP injections, weighing up the benefits of physical therapy, or curious about the latest in meniscus repair…

  14. 661: Fix Your Stress with Nick Bolhuis

    When stress turns into overwhelm and overwhelm leads to burnout, we all break down in different ways. Some of us get sick or feel anxious and depressed, others retreat into isolation or dive into hyper-social distractions. However you respond, the impact of long-term stress is undeniable....

  15. 660: Why We Eat Too Much with Andrew Jenkinson

    Why do you feel hungry, even when you've eaten plenty? What drives your cravings, second servings, and post-dinner sweet tooth? In this week's episode, we dive into the untold story behind hunger and satiety signals with a leading bariatric surgeon. Discover how imbalanced hormones can fuel...

  16. 659: Finding Mental Health in 2025 with Dr. Shahrzad Jalali

    When you're physically ill, rest and support are often readily offered. But when you're mentally unwell—grappling with anxiety, depression, or even deeper struggles—not only is recognition rare, but the help you receive might even set you back. This week, we tackle mental health in the year…

  17. 658: Will HRT give you cancer? with Dr. Erika Schwartz

    In 2002, the Women's Health Initiative study on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) sent shockwaves through the medical world, halting a major study due to a reported 26% increase in breast cancer risk. The statistic sounded terrifying, but what it really meant was just eight additional cases per...

  18. 657: Surf Therapy with Natalie Small

    We're living in a time where mental health is at an all-time low, and while awareness of the mental health crisis has never been higher, the question of what to do about it remains a mystery for many. One-on-one talk therapy is incredible, but it's not always accessible, affordable, or the right...

  19. 656: A New Approach to Pain with Olivia Sinaiko and Vanessa Blackstone

    Chronic pain affects an estimated one in five people, manifesting as knee pain, back pain, migraines, and countless other symptoms. Unfortunately, the pain management market is filled with questionable products, risky medications, and unproven treatments. On this week's episode, my guests bring...

  20. 655: Healthy Sleep for the Whole Family with Dr. Funke Afolabi-Brown

    When it comes to health and wellness, it's easy to focus on diet, exercise, and even supplements, but sleep often takes a back seat. Since sleep is essential and happens every day, it might make more sense to start with sleep rather than end there. Understanding its role as a powerful leverage...

  21. 654: Overcoming the Fertility Crisis with Gabriela Rosa

    Fertility isn't just about having kids—it's a health signal for everyone. Gabriela Rosa, a fertility expert, unpacks the deeper health issues often missed, why quick fixes don't work, and how a holistic approach can help couples facing challenges. Listen in for a realistic, hopeful perspective on...

  22. 653: Staying Active Life in Midlife & Beyond with Kevin R. Stone, MD

    One of the main reasons people stop doing the activities they love is injury—especially to the lower back and knees, which are common in midlife and beyond. When most people see a doctor for these injuries, the primary focus is on pain relief, with little thought given to long-term recovery....

  23. 652: Leadership at Work with Robert Glazer

    Since 2020, the way we work has shifted dramatically. Many of us are now working remotely, at least part-time, and even those back in physical offices face rapid turnover and increasingly demanding environments. Today, we're speaking with a leader and author who specializes in workplace dynamics…

  24. 651: Managing Heart Health with Dr. Matthew J. Budoff

    Heart disease remains the leading cause of death globally. While we know the importance of exercise, weight management, and blood pressure control, what role do scans and testing play? Can coronary calcium (CAC) scores help detect risks before it's too late? And if arterial plaque is found, are...

  25. 650: The Power of CBT and Hypnotherapy with Daniel Fryer

    If you break your arm, your next steps are clear. The doctor will put it in a cast for a couple months, and then afterwards, you'll nurse it back to strength and all will be fine. If your brain is broken - perhaps from a sudden loss, job change, or financial challenge - the path forward is often...

  26. 649: Yoga for Multiple Sclerosis with Garth McLean

    Every form of exercise has its strengths. Yoga is particularly good at reducing inflammation, training the nervous system, and reducing stress and stress hormones. For someone struggling with the autoimmune condition, multiple sclerosis (MS), yoga has a lot to offer. On this week's podcast…

  27. 648: The Power of Hypnosis with Dr. David Spiegel

    If you're going through a mental health crisis—whether it's depression, anxiety, stress, or overwhelm—the default advice you'll likely hear is to see a therapist. That's great advice, but in reality, even for those fortunate enough to have access to therapy, it usually means two to four sessions...

  28. 647: Rethinking Retirement with Campbell Gerrish and Caroline Brecker

    Imagine having a meaningful, rewarding career that spanned 20 or 30 years, or perhaps several different careers over 30 or 40 years, each contributing to a wealth of diverse experiences and hard-earned wisdom. Now, you're retired, so what do you do with all those experiences? How do you answer…

  29. 646: Hypopressive Training - Deep Core Strength with Trista Zinn

    When most people think about a strong core, we usually picture six-pack muscles. While that's part of the story, there's much more to it. The deeper core muscles, like the transverse abdominis, multifidus, and the muscles of the pelvic floor—also known as the pelvic diaphragm—play a crucial role....

  30. 645: How to Become Panic Proof with Dr. Nicole Cain

    Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm are issues many of us face daily. But the real challenge is knowing what to do when you're wired but exhausted, when worries keep you from being productive, and worst of all, when you can't fully be present in your own life. Raising awareness about mental health is…

  31. 644: Get to Know Your Body with Gil Hedley

    Pop quiz: how many bones in your body can you name? How many muscles? Do you know the difference between tendons, ligaments, and fascia? We are all walking around with a supercomputer between our ears, and our bodies themselves are a biological miracle - and yet we hardly pay them any mind. How...

  32. 643: Mindfulness for Busy People with Willem Kuyken

    What if you were more present in your life—at work, at home, with the people and projects that mean the most to you? What if you spent less time ruminating about the past and worrying about the future? Wouldn't that be nice? I think mindfulness is at its peak popularity right now because most of…

  33. 642: The Health Benefits of Muscle with Dan van den Hoek

    When you think about healthspan and longevity, your first thought probably isn't "muscle" - but it should be. Here are just some of the benefits of muscle strength and mass, particularly as you age: increased metabolic rate, improved insulin sensitivity, improved bone density, better joint…

    more
  34. 641: Understanding Fiber and Gut Health with Dr. Will Bulsiewicz

    Fiber is often overlooked in discussions about diet, weight loss, and immunity, but it shouldn't be. Fiber is essential for digestive health, improving gut motility, and regulating bowel movements. It's also key for weight management, as high-fiber foods are more filling. Research shows that…

  35. 640: Understanding Chronic Pain with Dr. David Clarke

    Chronic pain affects hundreds of millions worldwide, with conditions like gastrointestinal issues, back pain, and migraine topping the list. In many cases, psychological factors play a significant role in causing or worsening pain. Despite overwhelming evidence, the mind-body connection is often...

  36. 639: Weight Loss Bankruptcy with Lucas Rockwood

    The iconic brand Tupperware filed for bankruptcy this week, burdened with over $1.2 billion of debt. They've reached a point of no return, where digging out is virtually impossible. In many ways, this mirrors the struggle of those facing severe obesity—a situation where years of weight gain have...

  37. 638: Brain Talk with Dr. Jesse Rissman

    Neuroscience might be the final frontier when it comes to the human body. There is still so much to be discovered and understood about memory, attention, and how we learn. My guest on this week's podcast runs a research lab at UCLA that uses brain imaging and electrical stimulation to see if...

  38. 637: Telomeres and Aging with Dr. Richard Allsopp

    You know how old you are, but do you know your biological age? Meaning, are your body and brain younger or older than your chronological years? For anyone interested in slowing down aging and preventing disease and illness, telomeres are an important part of the discussion. These chromosomal caps...

  39. 636: Understanding Sleep with Dr. Ketema Paul

    Sleep is as vital for life as food, water, and breathing, but knowing its importance doesn't necessarily provide you with the tools to improve it. What if you toss and turn and can't sleep until late? What if you wake up five times a night to pee? What if you work night shifts and suffer from...

  40. 635: Understanding the Gut Microbiome with Dr. Gregor Reid

    Inside your gastrointestinal tract there are trillions of microbes, about 3 lbs in total, and in terms of absolute numbers, you have more microbial cells than human cells. This collection of bacteria, viruses, and fungi are collectively referred to as your gut microbiome, and at this juncture of...

  41. 634: How to Become Hyperefficient with Dr. Mithu Storoni

    The way we work has changed more in the past four years than it has in the past 20. An estimated 43 percent of Americans are now working at least partially from home, artificial intelligence is making most people at least marginally more productive, and we're all connected all of the time. This...

  42. 633: How to Thrive in Menopause with Dr. Liz Lyster

    Despite the obvious fact that every woman will experience menopause, support and education on the topic remains embarrassingly sparse. Worse still, misinterpreted studies have left many fearful of hormone replacement therapy and determined to simply white knuckle their way through this…

  43. 632: Regenerative Medicine for Your Joints with Professor Paul Lee

    The joint pain market is fraught with wild claims, fringe treatments, and scary interventions. At the same time, whether you've got hip, knee, or back pain, there are some truly remarkable mainstream and alternative options you'll want to consider. But you need to take agency over the process as...

  44. 631: Mental Health in Later Life with Dr. Helen Lavretsky

    According to the WHO at least 14 percent of people over 60 have a mental health disorder with depression and anxiety at the top of the list. Loneliness, isolation, chronic pain, and diminished health are contributing causes, and unfortunately, many suffer in silence. My guest on this week's…

  45. 630: Reversing Insulin Resistance with Dr. Morgan Nolte

    In middle age and beyond, your metabolism changes. It's easier to gain weight - particularly around your midsection - and it's very hard to lose it. The same foods that kept you lean when young suddenly cause imbalance. Why? What changed? Aging creates a cascade of changes, but insulin resistance...

  46. 629: Living with IBS & Crohn's Disease with Dane Johnson

    Digestive health issues can make every day a challenge, put strain on personal relationships, and even become life threatening if advanced and untreated. My guest on this week's podcast suffered from severe Crohn's that left him emaciated and very ill. He found his way back to health through...

  47. 628: Finding Love in Middle Age with Evan Marc Katz

    No one wants to die alone, and yet according to Pew Research, 29% of people aged 50 to 64 are single. That number jumps to 36% for those over 65. Dating is a minefield at any age, but how do you start again in the later chapters of life? On this week's podcast, you'll meet a dating coach who…

  48. 627: Learning to Grieve with Christina Rasmussen

    If you're lucky enough to live a long life, you'll inevitably be challenged by loss - the loss of family, friends, potentially even your spouse. Despite the obvious inevitability of loss, most people avoid even talking about it, much less preparing for the death of those we love. On this week's...

  49. 626: Anxious Attachment with Jessica Baum

    Much of how we interact with the world comes from early experiences from our childhood, with our family, and in our community. Attachment styles are psychological models for understanding the ways in which we tend to bond to others, particularly our spouses. This week's guest reveals how...

  50. 625: High Performance Life with Derin McMains

    The world of professional athletes and the concept of your body being your business, with its performance directly linked to your paycheck is completely outside of anything most of us have experienced. For most of us, we wake up to a to-do list of tasks, and it's unclear if we're winning or…
